Doing the solo Maya scene now and what I thought from the beginning of the series is finally mentioned ingame.
I thought it was just me, but even Maya thinks her fingers look way too old for someone her age

It's hilarious that so many people are convinced this was DPC's master plan from the beginning, rather than a (very clever) idea of using her mother's genetic illness to explain those awful looking hands.

Helen's hands were perfectly fine.

I guess the sandpaper ass is the next symptom of the illness.
And then it makes your tits look fake.

SPOILER


Dose the MC always confess about Heather no matter what?

Yes. If Nick doesn't know about it, MC will always confess by himself.

I'm not saying it was his plan from the beginning, just that Maya's fingers are extremely wrinkly for a teenager. It wouldn't surprise me if this was one of the scenes he put in after getting quite a few comments about it.

 

[Elduriel]

Yes there is, with Cammy. It has triggers that need to be setup for it going back to the dots game with the two of them

imo the threesome is so not worth it if you're committed so Sage, the love confession stuff is way better

 

[raider_manhc]

Yup, you have to play from Episode 9, be adventurous. Also select choices with camilla during the dots game, Flirt with camilla and mention if she is up to have sex with you and sage, message sage, go to bella's. Pickup camilla and viola.

got dammit how did i miss this...guess i gotta start a new sage path...flirty me here we go...

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

OK, ngl, Fuckface trying to get Jill dye her hair blue in Ep.12 would be hilarious.

 

[Lichlord45]

Yes. If Nick doesn't know about it, MC will always confess by himself.

Man that's lame, what was the point of keeping it secret from him then?

I agree. Missing out on this is never worth it.

Jill and Bella's L bomb scenes have big shoes to fill

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Looks pretty good to be honest, would.

I have a several alt-Jill works in my collection. And now DPC is taking steps in this direction.

The necessary multiplier for this party seems to be lower than the previous two. I got a 6.5 and managed an S without any additional multipliers. That being said, I don't know if a 6.0 is good enough to still get an S.

Why didn't anyone take the sword out of this idiot's hand before he hurt someone else?

Dude, you're supposed to be a Witcher. Do you have any idea what terrors, horrors, monsters may be lurking behind that door??? I'm not sure if that's silver but it's better than nothing nonetheless. Though, I think Derek'll choose another sword if there is a Bruxa behind that door.

I feel like a lot of the game's pacing issues come down to the episodic release structure - in a decade or so, once the entire game has come out, and a cliffhanger from the start of episode 9 doesn't mean waiting over two years only to end episode 11 on the same cliffhanger; only waiting less than a dozen hours of playtime to arrive at the resolution - at that point, the pacing will feel less painfully slow.

That's not to say that the game doesn't/won't still have its issues, but having an episode of moving pieces around setting up for payoff and the end of season 3 will be a lot more forgivable.

It would certainly help to play the game all at once, if for no other reason than you could see the end before you started a second run. But I think even in those circumstances the game is likely to feel repetitive and bloated at times because there just hasn't been a lot of forward movement lately. We're in a doldrums with too much side content and not enough main story. Those portions of games (or books/movies for that matter) still cause problems even without the long wait times.

To be fair, when Maya is similarly flabbergasted about this idea in game, Josy explains that they have tried to break Fuckface out of his funk with expressing sincere feels etc and none of that worked. So this is more of a last-ditch, "Whatever, if he insists on being the snowflake then maybe talking to his other head works better" attempt, and one that was most likely instigated to some degree by Arieth trying to peddle her sex toys to everyone in the HOT house.

Man if only we'd seen all these efforts! Seriously, I'd much rather have watched the character scenes and skipped over the last-ditch effort.

I recognize that sex scenes are what pay the bills so this is not a realistic option, but there was no excuse for skipping over the relationship building stuff. Well there is one, but it's a problematic one: the relationship IS shallow and no one wants to do anything about it. That's not an unreasonable read of the situation given the way things have gone, but it's one that seriously grinds my gears. I don't wan to fritter away Season 3 watching the trio ignore the problem (if not make matters worse) simply so DPC can avoid addressing the blindly obvious. I had enough of that in Season 2.

I think that, realistically, this is very strongly influenced by how attractive one finds the character in question visually. What i mean by that is, when you take a closer look then the interactions between Cindy and MC are very stock and basic flirting. Same can be said about his interactions with Bianca, which is just flirt with no substance. Yet both of them generate lot of interest with just that, for sure, But replace the girls who utter these lines with Linda or another in-game feminist, or even someone more popular with the playerbase like Donald Trump Sally, and despite the interaction being technically the same, speaking for myself the only chemistry it generates is an outpour of gastric juices or, at best, no reaction whatsoever.

It's the "human resources?" meme writ large.

So i think, even though it's not very charitable take, that the real issue boils down to whether the individual player finds Zoey attractive enough to hold their interest. If they don't, then no amount of award-winning writing is going to change that. (not that DPC's writing is award-winning) And given how many people are vocal about disliking tattoos on their porn girls, it's not surprising in the least how this character could easily be divisive. Even if a lot of it can be subconscious.

While I generally agree with your point in broad strokes, I don't think it's an adequate explanation here. Take the Cindy and Bianca example you gave. I didn't even know what Cinderella looked like until the MC offered to get her a drink; her 'thirsty ghoul' costume from Episode 9 was hardly flattering. Yet I still found her a lot more appealing than Bianca and that continued after the reveal despite Bianca being the more attractive of the two - at least to my conscious mind. Is this just my subconscious mind picking up on subtle details (blue eyes, perhaps)? Maybe, but I think it's a lot more likely that the circumstances and dialog of the girls makes a big difference in how I perceive them. Bianca's flirting seems reflexive and is at best empty, whereas Cindy's seems to reflect actual interest in the MC and could potentially go somewhere. I prefer the latter, and thus find Cindy more appealing. In other words, context matters when assessing attractiveness.

I think that applies to Zoey as well. I was pleasantly surprised by her in Episode 9, where I thought she came off far better than she had in the Interlude. Her look hadn't changed, so what did? Well, in the Interlude she came across as a clueless rebel who didn't even learn the Aesop at the end of her own story, whereas in Episode 9 she came across as a young adult with enough emotional maturity to recognize what she did to the MC. Small wonder my view on her has dimmed since then as she's been stuck in the thankless role of lovesick tween.

Now, I suppose you could argue I find emotional maturity attractive and thus respond better to girls that generally have their act together. You might have a point, but either way I'd say it boils down to a writing issue: Zoey's role in the game - as currently written - is a net negative, and no amount of character model shine will fix it.

This is of course only my own point of view, but it's not like there's another point of view I could use to review the episode.

I can use a sword, but Derek is Jaskier, can you image him fighting?
